I won't be completely happy with OP as long we get 15 pages chapter that take 30sec to read...I want more content. ;/

IMHO the 2 page spreads were epic enough to be justified. This week felt like real progress, and I'm enjoying the ride.

I like to think that the devil fruit didn't give Luffy the power of Rubber but instead gave him the power to make friends out of anyone. Like damn, even people he's "killed" or that have "killed" him. He's just awesome.

I'm betting that's the "power of the King" or whatever. I mean, Garp caught Roger but still got Garp to take care of his son, lol.

[Resin]

I was just re-watching the episode where Rayleigh talks about being with Roger and talks about him being able to hear the "voice of all things"...I've always gotten the feeling that Luffy always sort of knows what's going on, even if he's a bit dim about the obvious stuff. Maybe he has (will have) this ability as well?

[Correction]

Woahhh Nico Robin on the front cover looks hotter then I've ever seen her. (Err, probably cause I'm biased towards geek girls).

Glasses + long ponytail = wobbly knees WHAT THE FUCK ODA stop making me drool over manga girls :X

Sengoku in a physical confrontation is a lot to look forward to. Someone's gonna die for real (and not just Oars Jr.) before this arc is over.

[Stilzkin]

So what do you guys think Sengoku's power is? I'm guessing it's either some really dumb seeming df power which he owns with or he's just really physically strong. Seeing as Garp seems to be a physical strength fighter maybe Sengoku is too. He has to have something unique though, so maybe he is a master of semei kikan (that technique cp9 used to shift their bodies around, and zoro's gorilla arm thing seems to be similar). Seeing as semei kikan has so far been sort of animal related and Sengoku has a whole animal theme around him (goat, seagull, animal name for admirals/shichibukai).

sbs for volume 56 is out:

Spoiler: show

R (Reader): Let's begin SBS... NOT!
(Pen Name: Sun)

O (Oda): So it's not beginning? You got me there!

R: Oda-sensei! EMPORIO "WOMAN" HORMONE! Now - begin SBS~!
(Pen Name: One of the Newkama)

O: SBS~♥ Starts now~~! Hee. ♥

R: Which squad of the Whitebeard Pirates is this guy commander of?
(Pen Name: Tarou)

O: This guys isn't in any of Whitebeard's squads, and of course he's not the commander of one? Tarou-kun. He's not in the Whitebeard Pirates at all? Tarou-kun.

R: Does the miracle worker of the okama world, Emporio Ivankov-san, have real eyelashes? Or fake eyelashes? He can even do Death Wink, so is he using triple mascara? (by the way, even if I use double mascara on fake eyelashes, I still don't have enough power in my eyes ^^
(Pen Name: I love Odacchi ♥)

O: It's real eyelashes. I've gotten a lot of letters asking if Death Wink is a kind of haki, but it's a blast that is created by winking.

R: Odacchi, help~! ^^; All of us who are going to take entrance exams but can't concentrate on studying - please tell us off! Seriously. A word to all of us taking entrance exams. Even though this isn't a question.
(Pen Name: Pote-chin)

O: Read manga! Watch the movie (Strong World)! And study for all you're worth! You can have the cake and eat it, too!


R: Hello, Oda-sensei! Speaking of nothing, I discovered something, not about Inudesu ['I'm a dog'] or Umadesu ['I'm a horse'], but about Sarudesu ['I'm a monkey']! If you look closely at Sarudesu's spear in the scene where he first appears in volume 54, there's something that looks like black holes or something at regular intervals, right?
Keep reading from there, and in the panel under the panel that explains Mr 2's ability, there's a scene where Sarudesu is holding his spear, but somehow it seems he's holding it to his mouth! In other words, is Sarudesu's spear a flute, and does he use its sound to control the blugoris?
(Pen Name: Morning Musume at full cuteness)

O: That's right. Well done noticing. If I write the battle scenes too detailed, the story will come to a stop, and that's no fun, so stuff like that easily gets showed away to the corners of the panels in this series. But that's right, Sarudesu's spear becomes a flute that controls the blugoris!

R: I have a question for Odacchi. Why do the residents of Newkama Land wear net stockings? And, do you like net stockings? Please tell me.
(Pen Name: Mosako)

O: Well, it doesn't matter if I like them or not, but I'm the kind of person who wear nothing but net stockings and fur coats while drawing comics. As for why the people in Kama Land wears net stockings, it's because they're there. It's just like how mountain climbers climbs mountains just because they're there.

R: Does Nyon-baa also have a butt-butt chin?
(Pen Name: Gon-chan)

O: You're right - that's true! She's got a butt-butt chin just like Franky! I wonder if she can shoot a "Kuu Do Van"?

R: Oda-sensei. On the cover of volume 54, you say that people can basically live to be 140, but is Kureha alright?
(Pen Name: O-baka-san)

O: Ah, right. Now that you mention it, she's 139, isn't she? Well, if we say that the limit for a normal person is 140 years, she's still superhuman, in the sense that she goes beyond other people. So she'll be fine. Also, old people who will die in a year do not walk around in the snow with bare midriffs.

R: I just realized this, but even though you always listen to all sorts of wishes from your readers, you never publicity ask for a new character design, or ask us to think up a new Devil Fruit that will appear in the series? If I could make one... Hmm... A "Diarrhea Fruit" (gerigeri no mi) or a "Stomach Growl Fruit" (buriburi no mi)? A Stomach Growl Fruit eater whose stomach works perfectly, wouldn't that be cool?
(Pen Name: Scorpius girl)

O: Not cool at all! That's just a normal healthy person!! ...right, I don't ask for suggestions. And I won't. I don't need them. This might sound a bit cold, but I don't want other people's ideas... The editors and people at Jump sometimes change, but every time there is a new one, the first thing I tell them is to not give me suggestions. I want to have the confidence to say that I thought up all the people and the entire story by myself! If I rely on people once, I might keep doing it, and if it's a failure, I'll blame it on them. But if I succeed, it's because of my own ability, and if I fail, it's my own fault. I like that. Although I might want ideas on things that has nothing to do with the main story... Like the covers with Strawhats and animals. I'd love to get ideas for those. If you write "I'd like to see this animal and this person do something" on a scrap of paper for me, I'd love to draw that!

R: Nice to meet you. I was thinking while looking at Iva-chan that I'd like to see genderswapped versions of the Strawhats. You don't think you could draw them seriously for me? Please do it seriously.
(Pen Name: TOMO. M)

O: Sure. They become different.

Luffy: I'll eat salad and become the Pirate King!

Zoro: Three swords? I can't, that'd break my teeth.

Nami: I'm asking you - who is the navigator aboard this ship?

Usopp: I think I'll die if I go to that island.

Sanji: I only do sweets.

Chopper: Doctooor! Oh, that's me!

Robin: That's awful.

Franky: Am I super this week?

Brook: ?

[note: Except for Luffy (partly), Zoro and Sanji, they all say their own catchphrases, but modified to be extremely feminine/masculine.]

: The thing that got to me this time was when, in in the 4th panel on page 5 of chapter 526, Luffy emerges after getting into Impel Down... but no matter how I look at it, it seems that doesn't come out of Hancock's cape, but from her skirt! What's the truth? It's getting to me so much that on the geography test, I wrote "Laboon" instead of "Lagoon"! What are you going to do about that?
(Pen Name: The Sacred Ground inside the Skirt)

O: I can't take responsibility for the test, but of course Luffy wasn't hiding in the cape, but in the skirt... or more directly, in that china dress. If he didn't, the cape would just bulge over him, and he'd be discovered immediately? He was clinging directly to Hancock under her clothes - hey hey! Stop imagining weird things like that! Oh dear. The two of them were serious! If they were discovered, they'd be killed...! Ah, a nosebleed.

R: If a tanuki and a reindeer got married, would their child be Chopper?
(Pen Name: Sugacchi)

O: Yes, it would. Definitely. Oh, the nosebleed? That's, well, I fell over. Yes, I fell.

R: Oda-raoshii [note: That looks like a Chinese word for "sensei"? - it's kanji for "old master", but a non-Japanese pronunciation]. I'm sure you're going to say "There was a guard room nearby where the prisoners' private clothes were being stored, and he went there and got his clothes and cigars back. Well done, Crocodile! He's so sensitive about appearances." ...or some reply like that, but I'm still going to ask. When he was freed in chapter 540, Crocodile was wearing a prisoner's uniform, so why is he wearing his own clothes and smoking a cigar the next time he shows up?
(Pen Name: Aohige)

O: You almost know already!! But I'm still going to answer. The prisoners' personal belongings are put in some place for storage, and since the people of Kama Land steal from there, they have a lot of different clothes. Cigars and other stuff, too. I skipped drawing it, but Luffy and the others did go back to Kama Land briefly, so he got it from someone there. Well done, Crocodile! He's so sensitive about appearances.

Woah a SBS that is actually useful. Nice find. Although I think I missed the last few SBS's before that. Do you have them?

[Stilzkin]

All the SBS were at arlongpark but that site seems to be down

[Kaylia]

O: Well, it doesn't matter if I like them or not, but I'm the kind of person who wear nothing but net stockings and fur coats while drawing comics

Rofl...Awesome reply

Same as above but with Downaload option (the online reading is being hella slow for me)

Spoiler: show

Luffy getting his ass kicked kinda makes it uninteresting for me. Just like before he showed up, watching everyone else fight gets fucking boring. Despite that, there still isn't a major player whos out of commission yet. I mean seriously, we havn't seen a shichibukai, admiral, or anyone else important get knocked out except for luffy. How many chapters has it been since the war started? Are people with logia just expected to punch through each other till they get bored and kill themselves? Lets get this shit on the road.

I pretty much agree with everything you just said. I've been enjoying this arc so far but things do need to start progressing at a greater pace.

[Shuvo]

Prediction: Luffy uses Haki within 2 chapters.

[Kaylia]

Prediction: Luffy uses Haki within 2 chapters.

That's one of the thing that annoy me about this arc, because we all know it will end this way. It can't possibly end any other way.

It will be epic for sure, but it's taking too long to set that up.

[yayaok]

havnt read the chapter yet, but those lil figures on the JET PROJECT page are so fucking cuteeeeee

[Marcicus]

Wonder how strong Garp really is in his old age.

[Not Kuno]

I think he said in a past chapter that he is a bit weaker in his old age. Probably in Water 7.

[orson]

He's still freaking tough and looks like he uses haki.
